Jill Taplin - Owner//Principal//CEO//Curator

Jill spent over 15 years in book publishing and fell in love with the team dynamic when creating comics. After realizing it's ok to not like superhero comics, and falling in love with geek fashion and cosplay, she decided to do something about it and open a happy, positive and inclusive space for everyone interested in any pop culture. She is also a proud Alopecian of 25 years, and supports https://naaf.org. Her favorite type of comics are dystopian and adorable/humor (i.e. Bitch Planet, Black Hammer, Catboy, The Flintstones).

Reagan is a Texan who sweats continuously, and has run role playing games for 20 years. His work focus is for startup Worldspinner.com - which spins custom maps and campaigns for any DM/GM out there. He will edit the hell out of your content, and turn it into a quest. Also, you can't make something too spicy for him. His favorite comic is the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

This guy loves flags and otters, and has been helping us with the day-to-day operations and running of the shop, providing his many skills for the many things that need doing. He also likes beer and likes his enchiladas with both red and green sauce, or "Christmas."
